Early the next morning, Ryan woke up to find that Helis had left his apartment to attend to some of the auction house's business. He was a little surprised that Helis had become so diligent, you must know that Helis was not a hardworking person back then.

At noon, Helis returned. Ryan saw Helis coming in from a distance, and his face seemed to be full of sadness. But when Helis approached Ryan, his face was sad and changed to a happy look, looking at him, it seemed that there was something he didn't want Ryan to know.

Ryan couldn't help frowning, Helis must have some trouble, otherwise he would never have such an ugly face. Ryan thought about the scene he had with Helis yesterday, and Helis did give him a forced smile.

"He Shao, what happened? I see you seem to be annoyed. After some conversation, Ryan asked directly.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just a little problem with the auction house. Helis was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how Ryan found out, but then replied lightly.

Ryan frowned again, he knew Helis's character, and knew that the more simple Helis said, the more troublesome things became. So, he couldn't help but say: "He Shao, you and I have a deep friendship, if you are not afraid to say anything, maybe I can help." ”

Ryan's temperament is different now, his firm attitude, and the tone of his voice give people a very calm feeling, which makes people immediately feel that Ryan can be trusted.

So, Hurris sighed deeply and couldn't help but vent his bitterness to Ryan.

It turned out that Hearst Auction House used to be a one-of-a-kind auction house in Skayas. There is no competition from other auction houses, so business is very good. However, in the past few years, Skayas City has opened another new auction house, relying on its strong financial strength, constantly attacking Hearst Auction House and stealing a lot of business. Therefore, in the past few years, Hearst auction house has been declining. The business has gradually shrunk a lot, and the reputation has dropped a lot.

Originally, the ups and downs of this kind of business. It's very normal, and if Hiris works harder, it will always make Hears's auction house gradually better. The worst thing is to maintain the current situation and not to fall down.

However, in the past few days, there has been an unexpected situation, which suddenly brought Hearst Auction House to a life-and-death juncture. One night the other day, a group of masked men stormed the Hearst auction house, and then rushed into the warehouse, taking all the items stored in the warehouse for the next auction.

Hearst Auctions holds a small auction once a month, and every month the items that are stored in the auction house are stored in warehouses and are strictly guarded by many guards. Even Helis arranged for a level 6 swordsman to be guarded nearby. However, this group of masked men showed superior strength, wounding or killing all the guards of the Hearst auction house, and looting all the auction items held by the customers in the warehouse.

The value of this batch of auction items is not high, adding up to just over 20,000 gold coins. If Hearst Auction House were to pay money to its customers, Helis could afford it. But the problem is that it is about the reputation of Hearst Auction House, and if customers know that the items they have deposited for auction have been stolen, then who will dare to come to Hearst Auction House again in the future?

So after the incident, Helis didn't dare to speak out, and he secretly sent many people to find this gang of masked robbers. It is hoped that the stolen auction items will be recovered before the auction in a few days' time.

However, the day before yesterday, the masked robbers sent someone to Heris, and they offered to return the stolen auction items as long as Helis paid a ransom of 100,000 gold coins.

Suddenly Helis was in a dilemma, he didn't know how to choose, he now only had two ways to go, one was to ignore the robbers' requests, then the auction house would be discredited, and the consequences might be ruined from now on, or even go out of business. The second is to obey the robbers' demands and pay a ransom of 100,000 gold coins, but although the price of the auction items is very high, they only earn some of these intermediary fees, and 100,000 gold coins are equivalent to the income of the Hearst Auction House for several years.

Besides, it is impossible for Hearst Auction House to raise 100,000 gold coins in a short period of time. The Helis family invested a lot of gold coins in auction houses and other industries, and there were not many gold coins available, and it was impossible to sell some other industries for gold coins in a short period of time, so the ransom of 100,000 gold coins could not be raised for a while.

In this regard, Helis is constantly worried these days, and yesterday Ryan came, so he put this matter aside for the time being and received Ryan well. Today, he had to go out before dawn to collect gold coins.

"Can you find out who these robbers are?" After listening to Helis's words, Ryan immediately asked. Compared to Helis's anxiety, Ryan is much more relaxed, it's not that it's not about himself, Ryan doesn't care, but in Ryan's peace of mind, whether it's dealing with robbers or paying the ransom, he feels that he is fully capable of coping, so he doesn't worry so much in his heart.

"I can't find out, they are all masked, and our people can't see their faces. After they robbed the auction items, they disappeared, and we can't find them anyway. If they hadn't sent someone to ask for a ransom, we would have thought that these people would have left Skayas City long ago. Helis shook his head, looking a little frustrated.

"Could it be your rival auction house? They took the opportunity to force you? ”

"With this possibility, our auction house has never offended anyone, except for the constant conflicts with the foreign Patch auction house in the past few years. However, we can't find any evidence that Patch Auction House did this. ”

"What is the strength of the robbers? We can take advantage of the ransom to catch them all and recover the stolen auction items. "Ryan made his own suggestion, and in his opinion, it was the best way to go.

Unexpectedly, Helis shook his head and said: "This group of robbers is very strong, and one of their most powerful people can defeat the level 6 swordsman guarding the warehouse in our auction house in more than ten moves." So unless I hire a lot of mercenaries to deal with these robbers, the people in our auction house won't be able to deal with them. But now the problem is that we don't dare to spread the word about the looting of the auction items, so we don't dare to recruit mercenaries to help. ”

"It's okay, I'll help you then." When Ryan heard that Helis was in trouble, he had already decided to help Helis.

"Thank you." Helis didn't refuse, although he didn't know that Ryan was the Ryan who was rumored to be able to skip the level and defeat the level 7 sword master, but from his previous experience in school, it was conceivable that Ryan must be very powerful, "However, I still have to raise the ransom first, otherwise I may not see these robbers." ”

"When are they going to pay the ransom?"

"The night after tomorrow."

"Where to pay the ransom?"

"They didn't say the place, they just said that a carriage was ready, parked at the city gates, and the number could not exceed two people, and then their people took us to our destination."

"In this case, I must prepare 100,000 gold coins, otherwise they will not take me to my destination."

"yes, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered so much." Helis smiled wryly, and his smile was more ugly than crying.

"How many coins have you raised now?" Rui Anxin thought and asked.

"I have raised all the gold coins that our family has had, and I have borrowed money from many relatives and friends, and now I have only raised 60,000 gold coins." At this point, Helis looked very tired, apparently having been troubled by the collection of gold coins in the last few days.

"Hmmm! You don't have to borrow any more, I'll lend you any more gold coins left. Actually, Ryan had this idea when he first heard about the ransom before.

"What? You lend it to me? Helis jumped for joy, his face full of surprise and a hint of disbelief.

"Yes." Ryan was a little surprised by Hellis's fuss.

Unexpectedly, Helis refused: "No, Ryan, forty thousand gold coins is too much, you lend it to me, I don't know when I can pay you back." ”

"It doesn't matter, even if you don't pay me back, it doesn't matter." Ryan smiled, and then said very angrily, "I have a lot of gold coins, and these I lend you nothing as much." ”

Helis was speechless, and he looked into Ryan's eyes, and his disbelief intensified.

"Don't you believe it? I'll show you it. Ryan didn't have to be too polite to his friend, and then Ryan took out a magic storage bag from his arms.

"Magic Storage Bag." Helis exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Helis's surprised expression, Ryan couldn't help but tease: "He Shao, don't tell me, your auction house doesn't even have a magic storage bag, right?" I've seen your auction house auction magic storage bags. ”

Immediately, Helis said embarrassedly: "Of course we have magic storage bags, but we don't use them often. ”

"Waste!" Ryan scolded with a smile, and then said to his senses, "He Shao, don't tell me that the people in your auction house won't know how to open the magic storage bag, right?" ”

Helis said embarrassed again: "That's true, the secret to opening the magic storage bag with fighting spirit is too expensive, and we have always been reluctant to buy it, so every time we use the magic storage bag, we have to ask the magician for help, and let them put things in the magic storage bag, or take them out." ”

Ryan laughed, he wasn't afraid that laughing would hurt Helis, because the two really knew each other. Immediately, Helis was blushing from Ryan's laughter, and couldn't help but glare at Ryan fiercely.

"He Shao, don't worry, I'll give you a secret book for opening the magic storage bag when I go back, I have many of this kind of secret book." Ryan said it casually. Indeed, he had already bought a copy of the Secret Guide before, and then in Kemp. Find one of the secrets left by Ossedon. Therefore, this kind of secret trick is really nothing to Ryan.

Suddenly, Helis exclaimed in amazement: "Ryan, what have you done in the past few years?" How did you become so rich? ”。。 )
